The NFL draft, one of the most popular drafts in the world of sports. With the draft coming up, we asked some teachers about who will go 1st overall, What round will Randy Gregory (old DL/LB at Nebraska) go into after a failed drug test at the combine?, and Who their favorite team should pick first.

We asked Landon Miller:

1. Who do you think will go first overall? “Jameis Winston”
2. What will happen with Randy Gregory, what round will he get drafted in? “2nd round because he knew he was gonna get tested for drugs so it makes him look like an idiot”.
3. Who should the Lions (his favorite team) take for the first pick? “probably a DL” (defensive lineman)

Next we asked Nate Miller:

1. Who do you think will go first overall? “Jameis (Winston) just because that’s what Ive been hearing, I’ll say 80% Jameis Winston and 20% Marcus Mariota”
2. What will happen with Randy Gregory, what round will he get drafted in? “I still think 1st round just not as high as he was projected because he could be making more money if he did not fail his test, he is a big dude I just dont know why he would do something stupid like that”
3. Who should the Packers (his favorite team) take first? “A MLB (middle linebacker) with (Clay) Matthews would be nice”

According to NFL.com mock drafts, WInston is supposed to go the Tampa bay Buccaneers,  Mairota is projected to go to the Tennessee Titans, Donte Fowler jr projected to go to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Amari Cooper projected to go the Oakland Raiders.

Previous games: 2 losses against the Lincoln Blackhawks 12-4 and 8-0

The Nebraska Braves 14u (navy) gave it all they had this last weekend facing defending AAA gold bracket state champions Lincoln Blackhawks. Losing both games was not what the braves were hoping. Starting pitcher Taylor Jirovsky threw 4 steller shut-out innings with the braves up 4-0 in the top of the 4th, Easton Bentjen trying to shut the red hot hawks down gave up 7 runs in 2 innings after the bottom of the 4th the braves couldn’t get a hit off the Blackhawks and lost the first game 12-4.    Christian Harris got the start on the mound in the second game and threw 4 stellar innings until he experienced shoulder problems, he left the game while Easton Nelson came in the game throwing 3 innings “It was good that Christian came to us and told us he was having soreness/stiffness in his shoulder, because if he hadn’t he could have hurt himself and had to sit out a couple games due to injury” pitching coach Jeremy Webster stated. After the game Head/assistant coach Steve Buss says “We came ready to play these guys, we just had a couple of calls that didn’t go our way… we can’t control that guys. We hit the ball.. we just hit the ball at people. They hit the ball in the gap and we made some errors on easy fly/ground balls… that’s baseball boys.” The braves will be in action this Friday in Omaha for the tiger ropes tournament.
